For the last few seasons, Blackhawk fans (myself included) have made a holiday of taking a road trip to Nashville to see the Blackhawks take on the Predators. Well, it looks like the Predators’ organization and fans have grown tired of the sea of red in the stands at Bridgestone Arena. According to the Predators... Read more »

It’s that time of year again. Yep…late July, where nothing is happening on Planet Blackhawk. That means that blog ideas are few and far between. With that in mind, I asked my Twitter followers to send in some questions. Here they are, in all their uncensored glory. Paul Z : “How tight is the leash... Read more »

Wednesday morning, the two biggest free agent prizes in the NHL brought their talents to to Twin Cities. Forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter both signed identical 13 year, $98 million deals with the Minnesota Wild. The Blackhawks made offers to both players, and according to ESPN’s Pierre Lebrun, were “close” on Parise. So... Read more »

A few years ago, I wrote about a really ignorant and off base blog. Imagine that, right. I was younger, dumber, and more ignorant-er back then. I’ve been looking forward to taking this trip for a long time, and I’m glad I finally did. Friday morning, I flew out of Chicago ahead of the snow... Read more »

In a bit of a surprise move, Blackhawk’s Head Coach Joel Quenneville has decided to go back to Corey Crawford in tonight’s game vs the Nashville Predators. After allowing 2 goals in the opening minutes of Monday night’s game in Buffalo, Crawford settled down, and helped the Blackhawks capture their first win of the season. ... Read more »

First off…let me apologize for my absence the last few days. Early Saturday morning, after 23 hours of labor (with a Hawks radio broadcast in the background of course), my beautiful daughter Adelyn Grace was born. Needless to say, hockey has taken a back seat for a few days, but we’re back, and jacked to... Read more »

UPDATE : Various media outlets are reporting that Brouwer WILL SIT for game 3 in Vancouver tonight. Look for Dustin Byfuglien to skate on the top line with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Jordan Hendry will take Buff’s spot on the blue line. This is an opinion I hate to have. Troy Brouwer was one... Read more »
